Emmerdale viewers have branded this week’s episodes ‘the best in a long time’ as Meena killed teenager Leanna.
Last year Meena Jutla came to the village and over the last few weeks it’s become increasingly clear she has a dark secret.
Earlier this week Manpreet gave Liam her old travelling rucksack to give to Leanna. However she was unaware that her sister, Meena, still had some possessions hidden inside.
Meena went to see Leanna to get her belongings back, but Leanna had found Meena’s ‘bits box.’
When Meena demanded Leanna give her the rucksack and the box back, Leanna emptied the bag and found the Pride Collection tin that was stolen last week.
Leanna then went through Meena’s box and found an article about the suspicious death of Nadine Butler.
Meena told the teenager that Nadine was her best friend, but when Leanna asked Meena about her friend’s death, she let slip that she killed her.
Leanna fled the house and tried to get away from Meena, but in the graveyard she twisted her ankle.
Emmerdale: Leanna killed by Meena
On the bridge, Meena caught up to Leanna. The terrified teenager said she would stay quiet about Nadine, but Meena ended up pinning her to the ledge before pushing her into the stream below.

Leanna hit her head on a rock and it became obvious she had died from her injuries.
Although viewers were sad to see Leanna killed off, they agreed it was a brilliant week of episodes.

That was hands down the best week of #Emmerdale (that have I see ) in a long time.
Faiths storyline is really good already. I love that they have moved her in with Eric and Brenda has moved in as well. What a trio. And the support they are giving her is awesome. Cain and Chas 👎🏽— Lily (@AVFCLil) July 5, 2021

Others were also quick to praise the cast, especially Paige Sandhu, who plays Meena and Mimi Slinger, who plays Leanna.
